40 CFR Part 52

[CA 275-0378b; FRL-7460-7]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Imperial 
County Air Pollution Control District and Monterey Bay Unified Air 
Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Imperial County 
Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) and the Monterey Bay Unified 
Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) portions of the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). The ICAPCD revision concerns the 
emission of particulate matter (PM-10) from agricultural burning. The 
MBUAPCD revision concerns the emission of PM-10 from incinerator 
burning. We are proposing to approve local rules that regulate these 
emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the 
Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by April 23, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local BAAQMD Rule 8-7, SMAQMD Rule 449, and SJVUAPCD Rule 4622. In the 
Rules section of this Federal Register, we are approving these local 
rules in a direct final action without prior proposal because we 
believe this SIP revision is not controversial. If we receive adverse 
comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct 
final rule and address the comments in subsequent action based on this 
proposed rule. We do not plan to open a second comment period, so 
anyone interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: February 13, 2003.
Alexis Strauss,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
